January 21, 2026Pamela R.Verified patient
I came in with the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. Dr. Carson performed a thorough exam, quickly assessed the problem, and immediately began making calls to make sure I could have a same-day tooth removal. The tooth was in my sinus area, and the pain was absolutely unbearable.
Even without knowing the cost of the specialist procedure, Dr. Carson did not charge me for today’s visit. Instead, he and his staff handled everything — sending my referral, X-rays, and all necessary information — so all I had to do was go to the surgeon’s office, where the doctor was already waiting for me. The oral surgeon he referred me to was only 10 minutes away, which made an overwhelming situation much easier.
Dr. Carson made a terrifying, painful experience manageable with compassion and urgency. Both Dr. Carson and the oral surgeon truly saved my life today. I strongly believe that if this tooth had not been removed today,
January 21, 2026Sabrina H.Verified patient
Such an amazing experience.I was so nervous about this visit because I haven’t been to the dentist in a bit, but every bit of nervousness left once I walked in and I was greeted.The atmosphere is welcoming.The office is really clean and tidy, really nice.It’s so hard finding providers who actually care , are nice, genuine and not money hungry. Dr Asa Carson and his assistant were absolutely amazing.Very thorough, So welcoming&nice.Very informative and reassuring.They walked me through everything, were patient and gentle. I love how they operate. I loved being able to view everything on the screen so vividly as we examined and pinpointed everything. I really enjoyed my visit. I’ve already booked my next 3 appointments lol and didn’t have to book so far out. There were spots available as soon as the same week. I’m so glad I waited and found him. I was able to book an appt as soon as the next day. His availability is amazing as well and I sat no longer than about 5-7 minutes upon arrival.
January 12, 2026Brandi M.Verified patient
This was my first visit with this doctor.
Upon arrival (about 10 mins early) I checked in (didn’t speak to anyone at the front desk, but was acknowledged after a period of time) I sat about 45-50 mins before I was called back, this was the worst of my experience, so not really bad.
I was taken back to a room to put my things down & get x-rays done. The rooms were very clean & polished. Clean & updated equipment.
Dr. Carson was very nice, soft spoken & patient. I was confused on the type of services I needed, he was very patient and explained everything to my understanding & was open to my questions. I got a standard exam & cleaning, it was VERY thorough. I was very happy with my smile once I got home. He gave me information on what I needed to do to upkeep my smile until I returned in 6 months. I’ll be making him my regular dentist, I wish he did pediatrics, I’m sure he’d be great with younger patients.

So far , so good. The staff, including the Dentist were friendly and professional. This was my first visit so time will tell. Since this was my first visit, I had x-rays and a consultation. The dentist was knowledgeable and informative. I really don’t like having dental work done, but so far the experience has been a positive one.

Amazing practice!
September 26, 2025Ashley S.Verified patient
I came in today with so much pain and so many questions, and from start to finish the staff was nothing but sweet, caring, and gentle. They really took the time to understand what I was going through and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Their kindness and patience helped calm my worries, and I left feeling so much better. A big thank you to Dr. Asa Carson for being so understanding and gentle—I truly appreciate the care I received!
September 11, 2025Nasrah Q.Verified patient
My experience was amazing. The staff is amazing. The environment was very clean. The technology they used was very up to date. They took pictures of my teeth. I was able to get advice on how I can clean better. Diana answered all of my questions with patience. Dr. Carson was quick and straight to the point about my teeth which I appreciate. The hygienist whose name starts with a T was a great help. They cleaned my teeth with no issues and informed me on what I need to work on and why. I would definitely recommend this dentist to anyone. Thanks again
January 23, 2025Tyren G.Verified patient
Dr. Carson and his staff are great! As someone who used to dread the dentist, he and all of his hygenists and assistants have helped me overcome that by providing wonderful care. I feel far less anxious about routine visits. Excellent bedside manner, 10/10

Dr Asa clearly explained even the smallest issue going on with my teeth. He even walked me through how to spot a cavity on my x ray. No dentist has ever done that. They just assign an issue and leave me walking out with a large bill. I felt confident in the service and also the treatment plan that I received.
